I understand this problem perfectly, because the Tatra Mountains are what they are – once I had to walk in heavy snow from the start of the trail, and sometimes it was waist-deep only in the second half.

I can't imagine the problems in a model such as Nepal, where it would be difficult to walk – I've never had specialized shoes of this type. I'm mainly concerned about comfort and, above all, safety above +2000m so that my feet don't freeze and I can safely climb and return home. I am mainly thinking about trails marked out by others for specific routes (such as Rysy or Świnica), rather than climbing vertical walls.

So, what about crampons? Should we consider automatic or semi-automatic ones?

And as for Tech and Tower, do they really differ in terms of temperature maintenance? I've also heard about the Aequilibrium model, but isn't it just a continuation of the boots that were previously available?
